Bateman and Tessier both scored their first
QMJHL goals. Bateman had only one goal in 43 OHL games with the Windsor
Spitfires last season.

Imports Siska and Zboril each picked up
assists in the game for their first QMJHL points. Zboril made a great pass to
Tessier for a goal late in the second period.

Saint John’s penalty kill had a busy night,
killing off all eight Charlottetown power plays. That includes a Nathan Noel
penalty that carried over into overtime.

All teams have CCM logos on their jerseys
this season.

Saint John has large 10th
anniversary logos on the left shoulder of their jerseys.

Zboril nearly put the puck into his own net
in the third period as he fired a loose puck into the end boards.

In a pre-game interview on NewSong FM, GM
Darrell Young said he was surprised/impressed with van Boekel, Marsh, and
Spencer Smallman at training camp.

Also in that pre-game interview, it sounds
like Young wants to replace Taylor Fielding with a centre.

Daniel Sprong probably played 80 minutes in
this game.

Oliver Cooper had a fairly quiet night,
recording one shot, one hit, and two penalty minutes. Meanwhile, Will Thompson
had two shots and one hit.

QMJHL Live had some issues in the first
period but were fixed a few minutes in. The quality is unreal. The webcasts will
remain free until the end of the month.

96.1 NewSong FM also had a smooth ride in
their first regular season broadcast. It’s exactly the same format as News
88.9’s broadcasts with much more Sea Dogs related commercials.

NOTES: The Eastlink Centre has a new
scoreboard… only four Sea Dogs didn’t record a shot… Jakub Zboril had five
shots… Bailey Webster had four hits… Nathan Noel went 15-for-21 in the faceoff
circle… Daniel Sprong had three shots for the Islanders… this was the third
straight meeting between the two.

NEXT GAME: The Sea Dogs are in Moncton on
Sunday at 4:00 p.m. to battle the Wildcats.
